Question

compare the characteristics of rivers and streams.

Explanation:

Rivers are generally larger, deeper, and flow over longer distances. They often have a wider channel and can carry more water. Streams are usually smaller - shallower, narrower, and may be tributaries of rivers. They can be seasonal or perennial and have a more variable flow rate compared to some larger, more stable - flow rivers.

Answer:

Rivers are larger, deeper, and flow over longer distances with wider channels and more water - carrying capacity. Streams are smaller, shallower, narrower, may be tributaries, can be seasonal or perennial, and have more variable flow rates.
